Grief is an internal part of the life cycle.  However, not everyone has a person they can call on to listen and support as they tend to their grief.  Grief comes in many forms - loss of loved one, job loss, divorce, loss of self identity, and more. As a grief companion, this can be a shoulder to cry on, a safe person to ask questions, or simply a space to share your feelings. Think of this as a supplement to traditional therapy.

The services included with legacy support services, can include assisting with planning a funeral, memorial service, or even a pre-death celebration of life.  It can also include assisting journaling, or letter writing, gathering photos, creating a memory album, or creative help to preserve your family stories.
